Chapter 139: Chapter 123: Image stone
The great magician's face was pale, his body trembling with exhaustion. The overwhelming sense of weakness left him hollowed out, as though his very soul had been drained.
Meanwhile, Rhodes observed the army below with a calm detachment. "You can't defeat us as you are now," he said with a faint smirk. "Why not wait for your reinforcements? Perhaps then you might stand a chance.
The prince, seething with humiliation. raised his head. glaring at Rhodes before glancing at the disheveled great magician. After a long pause, he barked his orders. "Set up camp! We'll show them our true might the day after tomorrow. When that day comes, we'll slaughter everyone in this cursed city!"
Above the wall, the Dwarf King chuckled softly. his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Let them come. They underestimate us. Even if Rhodes weren't here, no one would dare challenge my city. "
Rhodes, lost in thought, murmured to himself. "A nation like theirs deserves to be reshaped. Their territories are pitifully small. Perhaps I should expand things... considerably."
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, you've obtained the Susanoo from the Naruto World. Due to the incompatibility between chakra and magic, you'll receive a unique variant: Light Susanoo!"
Rhodes froze, momentarily stunned before excitement took over. For weeks, he had hoped for this reward, and now it had finally come to fruition.
To Rhodes. Susanoo was no ordinary power. It was a masterpiece of offense and defense, a weapon that promised destruction and invincibility.
Eager to test his newfound strength. he retreated to the secluded back mountain. Standing in an open clearing, he clenched his fists. At that moment, the light-element magic in the air began to coalesce around him.
White bones emerged from the void. surrounding him and forming an enormous figure-a majestic, glowing Susanoo. The construct radiated an awe-inspiring aura, its skeletal frame exuding raw, untamed magic.
"Boom!"
The ground beneath trembled as the figure unleashed a wave of energy. Rhodes, though exhilarated, realized the immense challenge of controlling such overwhelming power. For now, he withdrew the Susanoo, his body shrinking back to its normal size.
Days passed swiftly. On the final day. reinforcements arrived for the prince's army. The soldiers rallied under the command of additional magicians, their confidence bolstered by the presence of the kingdom's elite forces.
The prince, mounted on his steed, rode to the front lines and pointed his sword at Rhodes atop the wall. His voice boomed. "You're the one behind this so-called federal alliance! His Majesty warned you- no nation can be formed without our approval! You dared defy us, and for that, you'll pay dearly!"
He sneered, savoring his perceived triumph, but Rhodes barely glanced his way.
Next to him, the Dwarf King stepped forward. his booming voice cutting through the air. "We've given you plenty of time, yet your forces are still in disarray. Is this the pride of your kingdom? Or are you simply too afraid to face us properly?"
The prince's face darkened as he turned to his men. Chaos reigned among the troops, with soldiers bumping into one another like headless chickens.
"What is this disgrace?!" he shouted. "Get in formation! Do you want to be a laughingstock?!"
Rhodes observed the scene with a calm certainty. Victory was already assured. A leader who undermined his own soldiers at a critical moment had no hope of inspiring loyalty or strength.
At last, the enemy forces were arranged, and the battle was set to begin. Rhodes stood, stretching leisurely as he addressed the opposing army.
"Ah, you' ve finally managed to gather yourselves," he said mockingly. "But it's too late. You've wasted my time, and now. none of you will leave here alive. "
He stepped forward. a fiery red magic circle materializing beneath his feet. With each step, the circle solidified, allowing him to walk effortlessly through the air. The soldiers below stared in shock, unable to comprehend how he moved so freely.
Standing before the prince. Rhodes looked down at him. disdain evident in his voice. "Spare me your empty threats. The outcome of this war is already decided. All your bluster will only make your defeat more humiliating."
The prince's confidence wavered, but his pride forced him to mask his fear. He gestured to his men, signaling the start of the attack.
"Enough talk! Destroy them! Let the world tremble at our might!"
Despite his bravado, the soldiers hesitated. On the wall, the Dwarf King grinned as he fiddled with a small white stone. The surface of the stone shimmered. projecting an image of Rhodes for all to see. It also displayed the distant battlefield, capturing every moment of what was to come.
Excitement flickered in the Dwarf King's eyes. "Let the world witness Rhodes' power today," he murmured. "This is the day we carve our legacy into history. "
The battle was about to begin, but already, the enemy's morale was crumbling under the weight of their own doubt. Rhodes remained unfazed, his presence alone enough to shake the resolve of those who dare oppose him.
